a study comparing the efficacy and safety between h-chop and r-chop in untreated cd20-positive diffuse large b-cell lymphoma patients

Conditions: Recruiting

Summary: this trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled, and equivalence phase ⅲ study. primary objective: the purpose is to compare the objective response rate of h02 (rituximab biosimilar) plus chop and rituximab plus chop, as first-line treatment of diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. secondary objective: the purpose is to compare the safety of h02 combined with chop regimen and rituximab injection (rituximab®) combined with chop regimen in the treatment of newly treated diffuse large b-cell lymphoma.
